Attention Kodiak Drivers; new Build; 2.6

alpine said:
Hi, everybody!

Now, that George helped me to get splash sound to my Kodiak, I was tempted to break my "golden rule" - do not update working planes- and downloaded built 2.6 , with the hope of solution for some texture problems, which were also mentioned by a other member.
At dawn and dusk the textures are dull, the orange colour is almost red and the floats are 2 dimensional white. At a special degree of brightness the textures change to their normal look, this change causes me crashes without gamebooster and short freeze with soundloops with game booster.
Any tricks aviable?
The screenshots are only a minute away, perfomance textures installed (no difference to the default ones), default envchrome files installed ( no difference to Bobs ones).

FSX. Gotta love it.

On the newest updates, nothing is done to the textures or the hard wired Materials in the Gmax build file. All the same as the early versions, which means this must be existent back then.

Is this happening with your other planes as well? Other payware that is custom made? The stock FSX planes may not be doing this, but other planes that groups or teams made might be doing this.

I would be curious to know if it can be nutralized.

In FS9, we had (have) chrome issues at night where a bug causes chrome to lose its reflection qualities. This 'might' be a twilight bug that does something similar.

Very odd. Thanks for the heads up. I'll bring this up at a Developers forum and see if anyone else has dealt with this.

Hi, Bill

it´s just the Kodiak, sorry. I had that issue already with the first version, but somehowe never did a flight so early in the moring, to experiance the change of the textures in flight.

Cheers, Thilo
 
Thanks Thilo,


I'll certainly check into this and find out whats going on. Always room for improvement and updates. Keeps me busy.

:d

Good morning,Bill

This morning I have two things on my mind:
1. Pekka is right, the texture change only comes to play with some aircraft lightning on, I wasn´t
aware of that.
2. I´m a little suspcious about the global envchrome files, ok I deleted Bobs and put the default in,
but does that really happen? Sometimes the "system" remembers everything, specially its faults
and uninstall - reinstall doesn´t help (ie 8, WOP3 P47 update)...

Cheers, Thilo

Hi Stan,

You can get the update off the main Kodiak page on Lionheart's website.
http://www.lionheartcreations.com/Kodiak.html

Scroll down to the Updates section, and you'll find the link for the installer for the 2.6 update. I just tested it, and it works through their site.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks, George. My face is quite red! As it turns out, I already had v2.6 on my machine. I purchased the Kodiak late, just saw this thread for the first time, and thought it was a new update...
 
Texture change solved

Merry christmas everybody!

Now that it´s christmas time, I have more time to play around and discovered, how to overcome that strange textures when it´s getting dark.
Pekka, Bill, when I switch the interior lights seperately (either clicking on the panel or shift L), everything looks perfect. Sorry that I didn´t check that earlier...:sleep:
